Bethesda Softworks has announced that three downloadable content packs will be released in the coming months for Fallout: New Vegas. The three packs will be released simultaneously for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows-based PCs.

The three DLC packs are titled Honest Hearts, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road.

Available on May 17th for Xbox 360 and Windows-based PCs and May 18th for PlayStation 3, Honest Hearts takes players on an expedition to the unspoiled wilderness of Utah’s Zion National Park. Things go horribly wrong when their caravan is ambushed by a tribal raiding band. As players try to find a way back to the Mojave they become embroiled in a war between tribes and a conflict between a New Canaanite missionary and the mysterious Burned Man. The decisions players make will determine the fate of Zion.

In Old World Blues, releasing in June, players will discover how some of the Mojave’s mutated monsters came to be when they unwittingly become a lab rat in a science experiment gone awry. Players will need to scour the Pre-War research centres of the Big Empty in search of technology to turn the tables on their kidnappers or join forces with them against an even greater threat.

Lonesome Road, available in July, brings the courier’s story full circle when players are contacted by the original Courier Six, a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum Chip at the start of New Vegas. In his transmission, Ulysses promises the answer as to why, but only if players take one last job –a job that leads them into the depths of the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by earthquakes and violent storms. The road to the Divide is a long and treacherous one, and of the few to ever walk the road, none have ever returned.

All downloadable content for Fallout: New Vegas will be available for download on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft Points, the PlayStation Network, Steam and Direct2Drive for ±R80.
